PlayStation Experience a “Once in a Lifetime Event,” “Like a Dream Come True;” More Info Shared

The PlayStation Experience event is just a little more than a month away, and will bring PlayStation fans together in Vegas for a massive consumer event. Digital Communications Senior Manager Sid Shuman gave more insight on what you can expect.

Now that I sit back and think about it realistically, the best thing for this event would be to have gameplay footage or hands-on-time with many of the games we already know about for 2015.

Hands-on-time with the newly released games such as AC Unity, COD: AW, LBP3, GTAV, Far Cry 4, Dragon Age, A ***NEW*** section of The Order, Bloodbourne, The Witness, Rime, The Witcher, Planetside 2, DayZ, Tearaway, Until Dawn, The Division, and more.

Updated Morpheus with OLED screen, and new demos with No Man's Sky leading the pack.

Well, there will be more than 80 Indie titles at the PS Event, so they will definitely have a big presence, but I expect AAAs to take up most of the show. A good variety is good though. I don't expect indies to have as big of lines, so that'll be nice while going between AAAs.

We will find out if it is that awesome when it shows up, but my guess is any big announcement happens at bigger events. If anything, it is just a bunch of hands and early access. Probably mostly indies is my guess.

The headline is ridiculous. A dream come true? We arw talking about a console that's already been released so unless they plan on upping the power by about 500% and giving it away for free I'd say the dream is already dead. If they have a single megaton unveil I'll be shocked. Something both amazing and unexpected and I don't mean amazing visually I mean amazing gameplay something I often find lacking in Sony exclusives

It is Playstation's 20th anniversary, as in an anniversary of the PS ecosystem which began on Dec 3 of games is being celebrated, hence why this is set on Dec 3 also. it has nothing with the fanboy load of crap you just spouted

I don't think Gamescon went that well.... after the conference Sony fans were more interested in finding out whether Rise of the Tomb Rider was a permanent or timed exclusive than about finding more about any of the titles Sony announced

Have you seen the list of devs showing up? It'll be AAA titles to match the indies. They already have a great lineup so a man is hoping for first gameplay from a number of titles and of course a new announcement or two even if it's just a teaser

Too true, if this is a once in a lifetime event that's like a dream come true wouldn't that allude to there bring nothing better than this for the rest of the consoles lifetime? It doesn't matter really, I ignore PR speak, give me facts with a light drizzle of hype or STFU.

It's once in a lifetime now since it's Sony Playstation's 20th anniversary. That's why it's gonna be a big deal. Sony is just banking on their tenure in the gaming business, so they can hype this somewhat.

Well I remember a ton of people claiming that the February event wouldn't be anything significant because it wasn't E3 and Sony announced the PS4 there. This event will be the same thing becuase Sony would never rent a huge space like this for nothing. Expect plenty of announcements from this event and some bombshell.

I know most ppl wanna contain their hype but screw it im on board my own hype train. Im hyped just because its playstations 20th anniversary. With bloodbourne, the order 1886 and other great titles being playable, all of sonys great developers gathering, sony merchandise, project morpheus. Anything else would be icing on an already triple layered cake. Can't wait to go edit: wait uncharted 4 is there too!!! Welp my hype train is now flying *hype plane

I would not mind paying (within reason) for PS2 emulation software on the PS4 providing I can play all my PS2 game disks. Unfortunately my son has my old still working FAT 60GB PS3 and now lives over 300 km from me and I am not keen on swapping my PS3 slim for it.

For anyone who has a PS3 you can still play all your PS1 game disks since all are backwards compatible, it is only the original FAT PS3's that can play PS2 games.

I don't know if the PS4 will ever be able to play PS3 game disks although there may be a service that allows you to translate them for use on the PS4. Even if a service like I just mentioned becomes possible translating a PS3 game compared to a PS2 game could seriously eat into your hard disk not to mention those of us who have limited network bandwidth and download limits.

I'm hoping for UNCHARTED 4 trailer/gameplay and new MEDIA MOLECULE game and probably GUERILLA GAMES new IP. Then at E3 next year GRAN TURISMO 7 announced plus SCE SANTA MONICA new game (probably GOD OF WAR).

Uncharted 4 is said to be there and if they show gameplay for the first time that is more than enough to make it "once in a lifetime event" add GG or little of Media Molecule new game and ill be happyyyyyy everything else wouldnt even matter.

I'll go into this with cautious optimism. They hyped up TGS a lot and the announcements before the conference were awesome. The conference itself was really disappointing. Hopefully this one will be better.

Well Sony needs some good/big news going for it, since lately everyone wants to act like the Xbone is the greatest thing since the PS2 and shit on PS4. Please don't spend too much time on Indies or multuplat games, we've had enough of that at E3 and Gamescom. All I care about Are the big exclusives.

If a game looking interesting to me, it doesn't matter if it's indie, or AAA.

Though, I agree that Sony just needs to draw back the curtain and unveil Uncharted 4 gameplay, and whatever new games and IPs Guerrilla, Bend Studio, Media Molecule, Quantic Dream, Santa Monica, London Studio, Japan Studio are working on, and of course… Polyphony with GT7 and Team Ico with TLG.

So sick of sites over hyping everything. It seems to be worse with anything sony related. It's almost like they want to build unrealistic expectations so then they can bitch about how disappointing it was.

(What about PlayStation Vita? Fan of the platform shouldn’t worry. As Shuman himself mentioned in the comments of another PlayStation Blog post. "Vita will definitely be there and in a prominent way. Fear not!) hopefully Sony actually stands to there words

Just get some BIG games out Sony, without screwing them up, ala Driveclub style.... We all know that Sony always ends up with the greatest collection of must play titles on there machines, BUT, why does it seem with PS4 we will be waiting for greatness for such a long time.

If Sony had of given Insomniac more perks & respect, I could be playing Resistance 4 right now....If Sony had NOT killed off Zipper, I could be playing a new Zipper PS4 title right now, maybe even the conqueror of the greatest console online game of all time, in Socom.... How bout a PS4 Warhawk 2, or Twisted Metal PS4, or Wipeout PS4....all these titles probably will never be seen again, as Sony either killed off, or scared off the developers responsible for these gems.

indeed. They are hyping this like the second coming and I really doubt they'll be able to deliver. Because seriously, when was the last time an event was hyped through the roof and it delivered? The answer is: never.

This what Sony does for the players... instead pushing games this holiday season for you to enjoy, they put together a hype show for next holiday season... you guys eat it up.. isn't the reason we have E3?
